There are at present over 1000 con-
ylcts at Sing Sing. Twenty-one barrels
of -four are consumed per day in supply
ing them with bread, Nine barrels of
potatoes are necessary to furnish them at
dinner. Three barrelfuls of liquid coffee
are consumed at each meal The meat is
beef, either boiled or roasted or corned.
Whenever the food is not satisfactory
there is general groan, which cannot be
punished because untraceable. The con-
victs are never allowed to address each
other or converse, and are required to
avert the face on the approach of visitor
through the workshops. A view of the
numerous details, walking the lock step,
emerging from the various buildings OF
shops, and congregating, suggests mon
ster snake in sections with a multiplicity
of legs.
All the convicts are required to walk in
the lock step. Jaehne is said to conduct
himself more faithfully in accordance with
the rules than any of the other present in
mates, while Ward is said TO be con-
stantly asking favors. In early life he
learned to set type, and he works hand
press for printing circulars in the store
factory. Jaehne is employed in the to-
bacco factory. The convicts are assigned
a certain amount of work, and il they
finish it sooner than the time allowed they
have to remain idle until supper time.
They dread the idleness Of Sunday. and
evidently seek in close occupation diversion
for their thoughts.-Correspondence New

A New Invention.

A coal-miner near Pittsburgh, Pa,
has secured patent on coal~mining
machine which is expected to reyolu-
tionize the coal-mining business. The
machine consists in the operation of
one or more circular saws, or disks,
fitted upon one or more shafts. The
who'll is worked by means Of a very
small rotary engine, set upon a frame,
which is placed on wheels, so that the
miner can move it whenever he likes
with ease. The machine is put in mo-
ton by compressed air or steam. or else
it can be worked by hand-power. As
soon as the power is turned on the saws
commence to reyolve, and win be fore
ed gradually into and along the wall OF
the coal-vein. 1t will make an under
cut of four and a half to six feet, as re-
qnired, saving Ill the coal which was
hitherto lost by the use of the pick.
1t weighs less than two hundred
pounds, and can be manipulated by
one man. Fifty tons a day can be
easily mined. Al saving of 20 per CEN
will be realized by the mine owner, as
there will be no waste. while the miner
will augment his daily earnings by a
least double the amount without hal
the exertion he has now. The work

Feeding Work Horses in Winter.

1t is not a good plan to feed farm
horses much grain during the winter,
when they have little work to do. II
put to labor, give them the usual feed;
but when not at work, %one-fourth of the
amount of grain given during the busy
season is enough. OF course, they
must have all the good stover they
wish. Horses do not need much grain
at this season; and if given il, they do
not have brisk appetites for it in
spring, and likely will soon refuse to-
eat the amount of grain they need to
keep them in good condition at hard
work. If. however, the horses are fed
almost altogether on stover during the
winter, they will not refuse grain when
put to work. Inaction is more apt
than the severest exertion to produce
Indigestion; and IL the horses are fed
rich food during the winter, they are
apt to meet the spring in poor condi-
ton. The necessary animal heat and
fat can be made from slower. A mix
ture of straw, clover, nay and III
fodder makes an excellent food for
horses in winter. If any grain is fed it
may well be corn, reserving the oats
until the work season. The horses
must be fed as regularly and carefully
in winter as when they are at work.
1t viii not do to give them heavy feeds
one day, when the weather is pleasant,
and scant feeds, later than usual in the
morning and earlier in the evening,
the next day, because the weather is
severe. As for saiting. the best plan is
to keep salt alwaysin a small compart-
ment in one corner of the feed-box.
If the horses are fed and watered regu-
larly. given comfortable shelters, KEEP
clean, supplied with salt and given q
teaspoonful of clean wood ashes In
their feed every other day. they viii
not need condition powders. When
ever a man resorts TO condition pow
ders, he conyicts himself of bad man
agement of his horses. -Amegica1

AnaloeY Between Plans an0 Animars.

Analogy Between Plants and Animals.
Pollen is not a simple substance, but
a compound, and while its principle Of
fee is to convey to the female cells fer
tilizing materials, it may also carry. ell
ements Of health or disease. as well as
those that are or may become heredita-
ny characteristics of its race. In the
animal kingdom we have an exact par
allel case, for leaving out all mental
impressions, the male parent contrib
utes no more toward the production OF
the offspring in proportion to size, and
we doubt if as much, as does the male
in the vegetable kingdom. Still, NO
breeder of choice stock would willingly
permit the conglomeration Oh adulter-
alton of the blood of the female by s.
scrub animal, or even n out of the
direct line of the pure breed. 1t is an
old saying that ''there is a black sheep
IN almost every flock" but there are
probably few persons who know the
full significance of this phrase when
applied to sheep, and especially to the
long known American Merinoes. No
breeder of these sheep in the past fifty
or sixty years has allowed q black male
in his flock, and yet. almost every sea-
son an eve among the pure bloods, as
they are called, will drop a black lamb,
a direct reversion to some early ances-
ter of this color. No one can tell how
long, or through how many genera
tions, this early contamination win
continue to shew itself. Similar cases
of reversion, the result of contamina-
ton of blood, as it may be termed, are
known to frequently occur among al
of our domesticated and improved
breeds of animals, and they are as like
" to originate and become hereditary
in the male as in the female. As there
is an affinity between plants to admit
of breeding, so there must be the same
among plants, and the motile pollen
promotes, if it does cause, ~excitability
in the female organs of the flower. and
there cause n responsive action from
those below and beyond, as already sta

snoring as a cause for piyorse.

~.
Ii is generally understood that mar
rage should be a subject Of much pre-
meditation, with intent to discover and
confess in good time all qualities of
head and heart and all personal habits
that impair ones c~apability OF being
agreeable to an ether, but the plaintiffs
plea in the Hurlburt divorce case, now
under trial at Newport, r. /, shows
that such self-examination a not be
too conscientious. ''Do You snoreP'
is a question, it appears, that every
candidate for matrimony should ask
himself. and, if the answer is yes, con-
slider himself debarred from embar king
upon that gusty sea. Mr.. Hurlburt, the
defendant, who is described as a hand
some man., faultlessly dressed" was in
1881 a wealthy New York broker. His
wife was fond of society and gave
numerous entertainme nts. his outlay
for housekeeping, G to-, being as much
MS $I2, 600 a year. Besides this outlay
the indulgent husband gave his wife
from "a, 600 to So, 900 a year in pre-
sents of diamonds, jewclry, and other
like fancies. He also gave her a house
which is now worth 500, 600 and pro-
duces a rental of $4,000. In addition
to these proofs of affection he trans
ferred her to his insurance policy,
which is worth to-day $50, 000 and in
the event of his death will bring her
$50. 900. finally he loaned his wife's
father $1,000. sui re snored. This
was 'bhc little rent within the lutte,
it appears, that spoiled the harmony of
his married life. Mrs. Hurlburt hay-
ing been paid $50 for al article from
her pen, became literary, and could
not abide her husbands barbarous
habit To make matters worse,
her husband was unable to
keep awake at all times during the eu-
tertainments given by the wife TO the
literary ladies of her acquaintance, and
in fact seemed to choose those very oc-
casions for the performance of his obi
Gus nazle solos. There were changes
in his circumstances in 1881, and he
became a bankrupt from an error in
Judgement in Wall street, but this can
not be supposed to have affected his
wife's feelings toward him. She sues
for divorce on q charge Of non-support
and desertion. but as she had an income
of "a, 600 from property her husband
had given her in his time of prosperity,
and declined to use it to pay the ex-
penses OF both until he could get upon
his financial legs again, it would seem
that he had no resource but to 60 and
live with his father, as he did. The
wife on the witness stand charged him
with 'intoxicatlon and drunkenness"
making the distinction that when he
was intoxicated he was ''cross," and
when he was drunk he event to sleep"
and snored dreadfully. Mr.. Hurlburt
produced witnesses to break down the
charges of into Vocation and drunkenness,
but the snoreing he could not deny. He
had TO admit on oath that he was "a
confirmed snorer, but sought to palli-
ate it by the statement that his brother
snored more, and that his fathers note
was st~entorian. Now that the charge
has been thus narrowed, the decision Of
the Rhode Island Judge viii be awaited
with interest by snorers of both sexes
